NEW DELHI, Aug 5: In a major setback to the AAP government, the Supreme Court on Monday held that the lieutenant governor of Delhi has the power to nominate aldermen to the MCD.
A bench of Chief Justice of India (CJI) D Y Chandrachud and Justices P S Narasimha and J B Pardiwala rejected the Delhi government’s plea that the LG is bound to act on the aid and advice of council of ministers in nominating 10 aldermen to the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD).
The apex court pronounced its verdict on the Delhi government’s plea after reserving it for nearly 15 months.
